I may be able to clear a few things up, I am a friend of all three of the sophmores, in their class at their school. They are not naming it yet because the people in charge have to make sure its not just a piece from another asteroid that broke off. They monitor it for a year, and then are able to name it. They can not name it what ever they want the people in charge of the minor planet center thing regulate it. They can only suggest. All three students are not planning on naming it something stupid. Any other questions just reply.
